+## Local-tool environment (per-analysis conda env)
+
+When running any bioinformatics tool locally, use a **per-analysis conda
+environment** rooted at \`${env}/\` inside the current analysis
+directory. Isolates tool versions between analyses and keeps each
+notebook's reproducibility record self-contained.
+
+Conventions:
+
+- **Env path:** \`${env}/\` (prefix style: \`-p ${env}\`, not \`-n name\`).
+- **Channel priority:** \`-c bioconda -c conda-forge\`, in that order.
+- **Prefer \`mamba\`** if available (\`which mamba\`) — much faster solves.
+  Fall back to \`conda\` if absent. Same flags either way.
+
+Lifecycle (lazy):
+
+1. First tool needed: \`test -d ${env}\`. If missing:
+   \`conda create -p ${env} -c bioconda -c conda-forge -y python=3.11\`
+2. Install in batches: \`conda install -p ${env} -c bioconda -c conda-forge -y bwa samtools lofreq\`
+3. Run via \`conda run -p ${env} <cmd>\` or full path \`${env}/bin/<cmd>\`.
+4. Record installs under a \`## Environment\` heading in \`notebook.md\` for
+   reproducibility.
+
+If neither conda nor mamba is installed, tell the user once and ask
+whether to fall back to system tools (non-reproducible) or abort.
+
+### Compressed inputs
+
+Keep FASTQ / VCF / SAM data **gzip-compressed at every step**. Modern
+bioinformatics tools accept \`.fastq.gz\` / \`.vcf.gz\` / \`.sam.gz\`
+natively — fastp, bwa, bowtie2, STAR, hisat2, salmon, samtools, seqkit,
+cutadapt, bbduk, kraken2, minimap2, fastqc all read gzipped input. **Do
+not** call \`gunzip\`, \`zcat … > foo.fastq\`, or any other decompression
+step as setup. Decompressing a typical short-read library wastes 4-5×
+disk and tens of seconds per file for nothing. If a tool truly requires
+uncompressed input, name it explicitly in the plan with a one-line
+justification.
+
+### Machine capacity
+
+Before launching a heavy local tool, check available CPU + memory and
+pass the right thread/process flag — most bioinformatics tools default
+to **single-threaded**, so a 16-core machine sits at ~6% utilization
+while the user waits 16× longer than necessary.
+
+- **CPU:** \`nproc\` (Linux) / \`sysctl -n hw.ncpu\` (macOS). Leave 2 cores
+  free for the OS and the agent itself; pass the rest to the tool.
+- **Memory:** \`free -m\` (Linux) / \`vm_stat\` (macOS). Don't oversubscribe;
+  STAR genome generation alone wants ~30 GB.
+
+Common thread flags:
+
+| Tool       | Flag                  |
+| ---------- | --------------------- |
+| fastp      | \`-w N\`              |
+| bwa mem    | \`-t N\`              |
+| bowtie2    | \`-p N\`              |
+| samtools   | \`-@ N\` (sort/view)  |
+| STAR       | \`--runThreadN N\`    |
+| hisat2     | \`-p N\`              |
+| salmon     | \`-p N\`              |
+| kraken2    | \`--threads N\`       |
+| minimap2   | \`-t N\`              |
+| fastqc     | \`-t N\`              |
+| cutadapt   | \`-j N\`              |
+
+### Bash timeouts and long-running jobs
+
+Pi's \`bash\` tool's \`timeout\` is **optional** and in **seconds**. When
+omitted, the command runs to completion — correct default for
+bioinformatics pipelines whose runtime you cannot reliably predict
+(minimap2 / bwa-on-WGS / variant calling, fresh-env conda solves,
+short-pipeline assembly).
+
+**Do not guess-cap at 3600 s.** Real pangenome builds will cross an hour
+and be killed partway. When you do need a bound, pick generously: 300 s
+for quick commands, 3600 s for short pipelines, 86400 s for overnight.
+Prefer **omitting \`timeout\` entirely** over capping too low.
+
+**Background jobs likely to run 10+ minutes** so the user isn't held
+hostage to a single bash call. A blocked tool holds the chat turn: the
+user cannot send messages, display sleep can interrupt UI updates, and
+a crash or abort kills the job mid-run. Signals to background:
+
+- Neural-network inference (foldseek ProstT5, ESM, AlphaFold)
+- mmseqs2 / foldseek on > ~500 sequences
+- MCL clustering on large graphs
+- STAR / hisat2 genome index generation
+- Genome assembly (hifiasm, flye, canu)
+- PGGB pangenome builds
+
+Routine multi-package conda installs and standard fastp / bwa / samtools
+steps stay in the synchronous-bash path — backgrounding them just bloats
+the activity stream.
+
+**Pattern — launch, record, poll:**
+
+\`\`\`bash
+# 1. Launch in background. \`disown\` detaches from the tool shell so the
+# job survives this tool invocation. Drop \`.done\` on success or \`.failed\`
+# on error so polling can distinguish "still running" from "finished badly"
+# — without the \`.failed\` branch a quick crash gets reported as
+# "still running" indefinitely.
+mkdir -p foldseek_work
+nohup sh -c '${env}/bin/foldseek easy-cluster ... > foldseek_work/run.log 2>&1 \\
+  && touch foldseek_work/.done || touch foldseek_work/.failed' > /dev/null 2>&1 &
+disown
+echo "Launched foldseek — tail foldseek_work/run.log to monitor"
+\`\`\`
+
+\`\`\`bash
+# 2. Poll in a later bash call (separate tool invocation, minutes later)
+if [ -f foldseek_work/.done ]; then
+  echo "Finished"
+  ls -lh foldseek_work/vir_struct_cluster_cluster.tsv 2>/dev/null \\
+    || echo "output missing — check log for errors"
+  tail -20 foldseek_work/run.log
+elif [ -f foldseek_work/.failed ]; then
+  echo "Failed — check log"
+  tail -20 foldseek_work/run.log
+else
+  echo "Still running"
+  tail -5 foldseek_work/run.log
+fi
+\`\`\`
+
+After launching, **return to the user immediately** with a message like
+"foldseek is running in the background — I'll check back in a few
+minutes, or you can ask me to check now." Append a brief
+\`## Background jobs\` breadcrumb to \`notebook.md\` with the job name,
+start time, and log path so the work is recoverable across renderer
+reloads (skip the PID — it's meaningless after a restart).

+- \`max_rounds\` defaults to 5 if omitted.
+- \`model\` (per-role or team-wide) is optional; default is the session model.
